# Tarzan the Untamed (Tarzán el indómito)

The seventh Tarzan novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs combines two serially published stories: Tarzan the Untamed (Red Book) and Tarzan and the Valley of the Moon (All-Story), published as a single volume in 1920. Set during World War I, the narrative begins with German Captain Fritz Schneider and his troops discovering Tarzan's English estate while campaigning in British East Africa. Finding Tarzan absent, they destroy his home and kill his wife Jane, leaving her charred body for him to discover upon his return. Maddened by grief and rage, Tarzan seeks vengeance against the Germans while aiding British forces. He later encounters Bertha Kircher, a German spy, and eventually abandons civilization entirely, crossing the desert to discover the hidden city of Xuja where he meets Kircher again. The narrative emphasizes Tarzan's primal nature reasserting itself amid civilized trauma.
